As I have been focusing on my renewed journey forward as an illustrator, I have been thinking a lot about my work space. I have been trying to organize my little office area so my tools are more at the ready and thinking of things to surround myself with that inspire me, including music.

I'd love to hear about some of your creative work spaces, and what works for you. maybe even post some photos of your work space.
I will post some of mine when i get it more squared away. Thanks!

The scenery wasn't great this morning, I will try and upload one with a better surroundings soon. I listen to music while I am working and what I listent to depends on what have I am working on. Living in a van definitely helps creatively. Different day, different place.

It's split into two areas - my digital work area (got such a hard time from hubby when i hooked up the second monitor lol) Please forgive the blurry pic, had to take it quickly

I have some family photos and toys about, along with some inspirational quotes and art from other artists i like. I've also started taping some of my daily practice sketches and studies on the wall, kind of like a mini portfolio. When I do something that i like better than what is up there, I replace it with the new sketch. Sometimes I really can't wait to pull some pieces off the wall but i wont do it unless i have something better to replace it with.

I have a favorite quote too, I write it in all my sketch books and have it hanging in a few other places - The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without the work by Emile Zola - reminds me to draw every day

(I also have a space in my unfinished basement that I use for anything else creative I do that might be a bit messier like painting etc.

You can easily tell I am a huge Disney fan (always have been) and I like having all of the different art/figures/toys etc around me for inspiration not just with art but life in general.

I thought about taking over one of the bedrooms, instead of having stuff jammed into corners of the living room, but then i would never see anyone else lol

I will not allow to turn in to mess again!" ...and after 3 days...

You could play "find waldo" with my desk But to make it easier... I use intuos 3 for digital work, I almost bought a Cintiq, but I realized I dont really mind the disconnection... I use polychromatic colored pencils for sketching... and oils and pastels when I want to do something bigger on my easel. I am big Mignola fan, hence the Hellboy. Miniature statues are serious danger for my wallet ...and yeah... I wouldnt survive without ice cream these scorching days..

I wanted a workspace that felt like it was tucked into the wall so added cupboards either side. I recycled the weathered old fence palings when we re-did the fence.
